Abbreviation

Latin term

English translation

i.e.

id est

that is

e.g.

exempli gratia

for example

cf.

confer

compare

et al.

et alii

and others

In particular, the abbreviations i.e. and e.g. are often mistakenly interchanged, and cf. is often misused to mean “see” when it actually means “compare”. Also, note that there is no period after “et” since it is not an abbreviation.
